(Attached Appendix 2). PRELIMINARY COMMENTS This Response is submitted by Chesham Society with the underlying motives of improving the economic vitality of Chesham Town, welcoming new housing and employment, and acknowledging the importance of having the Local Plan adopted within Central Government timescales. We hope that there will be sufficient positive elements within the Local Plan that will stand as a Neighbourhood Plan for Chesham. The Chesham Society has publicised the Consultation widely throughout Chesham with a view to collecting a strong evidence base. Every household has received a leaflet with outline information. Several public meetings have been held including a joint meeting with the Town Council. The input to workshops has been analysed and the results form part of this report. Our “Vision of Chesham”, a proposal for the redevelopment of the Chesham Town Centre, should be treated as an integral part of our Response to this Plan Consultation. The “Vision of Chesham” is included on a DVD and has been posted on YouTube, which to date has attracted over 760 hits. We see Infrastructure as the major constraint on the deliverability of any expansion and address this issue first. 4 INFRASTRUCTURE Planning Practice Guidance – Local Plans “The Local Plan should make clear, for at least the first five years, what infrastructure is required, who is going to fund and provide it, and how it relates to the anticipated rate and phasing of development. This may help in reviewing the plan and in development management decisions. For the later stages of the plan period less detail may be provided as the position regarding the provision of infrastructure is likely to be less certain.” It is clear that Infrastructure in its widest sense has reached a tipping point in Chesham. The evidence provided by the widely expressed views of the community is set out in another section of the Response. The Infrastructure Capacity Study finds “all of the settlements have considerable existing infrastructure pressures”. “Acceptance of increased levels of congestion” is not an option. We agree that “as a result of the work to date, the scope for accommodating future potential growth in population or housing in these settlements seems very limited unless further growth can be accompanied by increases in infrastructure capacity. It cannot simply be assumed that additional capacity will automatically be created in response to the growth associated with the local plan.” Over the next months intensive negotiation is required with providers in order to satisfy the requirements set out in Planning Practice Guidance. The requirements for and constraints of infrastructure are wide ranging and include but not exclusively: HIGHWAYS The road system cannot cope with more through traffic or local traffic. It is a remarkable omission that there is no traffic survey amongst the huge array of reports prepared for this Consultation. That a critical point has been reached is regularly demonstrated when a minor accident brings the Town and surrounding areas to a standstill. Noted from the Infrastructure Capacity survey: “A416 road through Chesham is a priority congestion management corridor in Bucks CC’s Local Transport Plan (LTP3). Other main roads in / towards the town congested (LTP fig 4.6) Capacity does not currently take account of the future growth implications from the new Local Plan. Capacity to be investigated further as part of the transport modelling for the new Local Plan. Potential for measures within the review of the LTP.” We therefore expect to see some statistical information in the next Consultation and for this to be reflected in any proposals for new development. 5 WATER Planning Practice Guidance - Water supply, wastewater and water quality – considerations in plan making “Plan-making may need to consider: • Identifying suitable sites for new or enhanced infrastructure. In identifying sites it will be important to recognise that water and wastewater infrastructure sometimes has particular locational needs (and often consists of engineering works rather than new buildings) which mean otherwise protected areas may exceptionally have to be considered where consistent with their designation. Plan-making will also need to take into account existing and proposed development in the vicinity of a location under consideration for water and wastewater infrastructure. • Phasing new development so that water and wastewater infrastructure will be in place when needed.” The statement by Affinity Water quoted in the Infrastructure Capacity Study would imply that no new development can start before 2025: “We are undertaking a joint study with Thames Water on the Upper Chess to identify if there is an impact of our abstraction on groundwater levels and hence river flows. If an impact is identified we will undertake an options appraisal and cost benefit analysis. Should this work conclude a positive cost - benefit proposals for reduction may be included for public consultation in our next Water resources Management Plan that is due for publication in 2018.Any implementation scheme would then be included in AMP7 (2020 -2025)” Unlike other rivers in the District the upper reaches of the River Chess ran dry in August 2015. The river above Town Bridge did not start flowing until late February 2016. The branch at Townsend Road is still not flowing on 12.03.2016. There is only one possible reason for this – there is already over abstraction of water. There has been a 50% increase in abstraction in recent years. Unless other sources can be identified this is a major constraint on early development. 6 SEWAGE Thames Water is regularly discharging excess sewage into the River Chess. Others (including the River Chess Association) will no doubt elaborate on the effect of this on a rare chalk stream environment. Sufficient here to repeat again “the River Chess should not be an extension of the Town drainage system”. Quoting from Thames Water Drainage Strategy, Chesham, June 2015; “The foul sewerage system in Chesham has become overwhelmed in some locations for weeks at a time in recent years.” Unfortunately they also go on to say when addressing future challenges: “Little development is planned around Chesham.” There would appear to be a necessity of some better cooperation between CDC and Thames Water. They are currently at the stage of “gathering data” with a view to identifying “cost beneficial enhancements”. The Environment Agency letter of 8 January included in the Evidence Base deserves mention here. “There is no consideration throughout the document (Lepus) of how the waste water and drainage infrastructure requirements of future developments and population expansions will be met without adversely affecting the water environment, whether there is a need for new sewerage infrastructure and whether this needs to be explored in further detail.” “There are significant groundwater flooding issues in the Local Plan Area and these have barely been mentioned” Quoting Thames Water in the Infrastructure Capacity Study: “Chesham and Gerrard’s Cross require site wide upgrades to enhance process capabilities - programmed to take place from 2015–2020” suggests new development should be phased to take place after 2020. We maintain that this topic is another constraint on further early development until enhancements have been put in place. FLOODING From the Infrastructure Capacity Study: “Chesham Flood Alleviation Scheme – project already started and outputs to be delivered by 2021. Land may be required in Chesham town for the scheme” and “Concern from a flooding point of view where significant pinch points currently exist e.g. in Chesham and Chalfont St Peter in relation to culverts and in relation to the capacity and design of the foul sewer system” We can only hope that these issues will be addressed in the next Preferred Options Consultation. 7 SCHOOLS Statement from Bucks County Council Education in the Infrastructure Capacity Study: “At present three of the four primary planning areas and all secondary schools in Chiltern are at capacity with little flexibility to allow for volatility in parental choice or population migration. In addition based on the 2014 Housing Trajectory and the level of planning permissions as at 30.4.2014 all primary planning areas in Chiltern District will be at capacity by 2018/19 And based on the same data all secondary school planning areas in Chiltern will be at capacity by 2022/23 (this longer time horizon is due to it taking longer for changes to be carried forward to secondary school age groups This estimate takes account of additional capacity recently provided at four primary schools and two secondary schools in Chiltern. Additional capacity in the early stages of planning at one other primary school and two secondary schools in Chiltern will not enable sufficient capacity to address potential growth over that shown in the 2014 Trajectory and outstanding permissions.” We are aware of pupils in Chesham this year being offered secondary school places in Princes Risborough. This is obviously unsustainable and we would expect further up to date information in the Consultation later this year to be reflected in the phasing of any proposed development.

  • Chiltern District Council Election Results 1973-2011
    Chiltern District Council Election Results 1973-2011 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
